he was not an insider from the cia and the cia is a bit of an old fashioned club. they like it if you come up through the ranks. there was talk -- one person at the cia and one person formerly at the cia put it to me this way. the cia would have had to ask the fbi to look into e-mails that were suspicious. the cia handles its own security and the fbi would have had to be brought in to examine somebody suspiciously trying to pry into the director's account. which does not suggest a real warmth within the organization. >> this is an incredible resignation with incredible timing. i have a feeling as we get more detail on this as it goes forward it's going to become an even more important story. richard engel, nbc's chief foreign correspondent. thank you. richard engel, thank you. i feel a feeling we'll be talking about this shortly. >>> who's in charge of the republican party now? simple question with a difficult answer. that's coming up. were!
